C&R bound books (?)
About a million years ago I was an FFL with special tax stamp for the full auto stuff and at that time used a "bound book" for recording all transactions. Now, many years later, as a new and very inactive C&R lic. holder I am asuming that a bound book needs to be maintained of C&R transactions.
Is that correct, and if so what is a good source for procurement of said bound books? Or does a shoe box of receipts suffice? I can just see the ATF types' facial reaction when you lay that in front of them during an audit... Thanks; dju |
Dave,
I think you can get an approved C&R record book from BATF, unless they've discontinued providing them. You can also buy bound ledger books at office supply stores, Staples, Office Depot, etc. Ron |
I'm a new C&R and found the bound book, numbered pages at, surprisingly, 'Staples', the office supply place.

Brownels has them I believe
|
They are also advertised for sale in Shotgun News and Gun Digest.

"About a million years ago" ??? David, I thought you looked familiar, to quote the late Elmer Keith "Hell, I was there!" :D
|
Actually I was a class 3 FFL up until Clinton's Veep Lloyd Benson made comments about how there are more gun dealers than McDonalds. Then the ATF raised the rent and harassed all the not-so-serious guys out of business. Oh well, life went on.

David,
I got mine thru RK Enterprises. Their website doesn't work, so I called them. Their bound book is real nice. Mike:thumbup: http://www.rkffl.com/ |
Don't' buy anything. Go to Surplusrifle.com and download a sample boundbook page as a pdf. Look under the C&R tab. Print a few copies, 3-hole punch and into a notebook. All done. The "book" does not have to be bound like a printed book.

Thank you all!

David,
Be aware that some BATFE Agents don't consider a loose leaf notebook a " bound book ". I'm not going to tempt fate!! Mike |
I have been using the one from Surplusrifle.com since I got my license in 2000. The pages are two hole punched and in a cover with two of those little brass tab thingys that you put thru the hole and fold back the tabs.
When I got inspected last year the ATF agent commented that he had never seen a book like that before, but it has all the information needed in it and looks just like the example in the BATF book. He said it was ok to use! |
Same here.
Here's the address: http://www.surplusrifle.com/graphics/boundbookpage.pdf |
Can "bound" book be as simple as printing the pages from your computer copy of the contents, and stapling them together to "bind" them?
